The shooter needs to be fed to the lions.

This story is one of the reason I will never have an outdoor cat; cars, other animals, and psychotic sub-humans.

I don’t know the details of this situation, other than a senseless act of cruelty took place against an animal, and a mention in Bryan Fitzgerald’s write-up of a the cat sitting “on the back porch each night” and meowing “until he was let in the house.” Oh-oh.

That mention was enough to awaken in me a memory of a neighbor whose barking dog at all hours of the day and night, derailed my peace of mind for two years. Like #2 found, local authorities proved useless. Feeling utterly powerless, I became so angry that I’d find myself thinking of fast ways to end my problem. I’d remind myself, of course, that the problem was not the dog, but the owner.

I love animals, but their owners can be among the most selfish and thoughtless neighbors one can have. I say the person who hurt this cat should be charged with applicable laws and punished. But owners like the one I remember, and like the one this MAY be are hardly poor, innocent victims. They are also responsible.

Animals are living things and deserving of respect, but when people begin to talk to them in baby voices and find themselves making excuses for their own pathology (“He’s just barking at squirrels,” “She’s just meowing; she’s not hurting anybody.”), then it’s time to visit the neighbor with a net – for him, not the animal.

My neighbor who has had over 18 Cats at any particular place in time allows them to “roam freely” about the neighborhood and as with most pet owners of this mentality type as they do the same with their children and believe we all should be thankful to them for allowing this to happen and sharing their Cats and their offspring with us…

The problem is, having spent a large amount of money to try and grow and maintain a healthy “Organic garden” and having an aversion to the smell of Cat Urine myself and I just can’t express enough the joy of finding Cat Feces in my Vegetable Garden and Flower beds and Fruit & Nut Tree sumps… I personally find the free roaming Cats to be a major problem and causing me work and expense in having to replace the dirted infected soil in the Garden and having to throw the fruits of my Labor into the garbage can…..

I talked to my neighbor about nicely but who got violent, I called County Animal Control and have spent over a hundred dollars buying all sorts of TOTALLY WORTHLESS animal Repelling Fluids, Powders, and Electronics in my attempt to keep the creatures at Bay..None of which have worked!

Animal Control will only take the Animal from me, if “I catch the animal myself!!!” Which I have done and which my neighbor has broken my traps or stole them..These are the Hava-hart Traps.

So in order to protect my property from Cat Lovers and their spawn what is one expected to do?

My Garden now looks like Fort Knox surronded with five feet high Chicken Wire and Electrical Shock wire from the Farmers supply store.

There is no reason I should have to spend all this money to protect my home from these animals. I would say that almost daily the thoughts of using a 22. and or some Prestone Anti-freeze all come to mind which brings a smile to my lips…

But the real problem is with the Owners. It is not the creatures fault…Rarely do I believe the need for stronger laws, but just inforce the laws we already have on the books now, but in the case of Cat Owners,,I believe there should be stricter laws punishing the Owners for their Sharing and making them finanically 100% responsible for the Damage their irresponsbility as owners cause..

When I see these liberal dribble purposely produced heart bleeding Advertising Soliciting money from these Animal “Rights” groups hoping to line and fatten their pockets at the animals expense I laugh very hard and wouldn’t give these people a dime for they are taking away the responsiblity of irresponsible animal owners and spreading it around to the populace when the individual animal owners should be made to pay… Each Animal born should have a tattoo or Chip placed into it identifying the owner and when captured or found dead in the road the Owner should be made to pay the costs NOT the Taxpayers nor the soft hearted suckers who these animal Rights people prey on….
